Bob, my test with an old OOo document had it showing a number sequence 
with left and right side numbering.  This worked fine with printing 2 
pages per sheet and each of the pages show kept their numbering.  Now if 
you want to have sheet numbering, instead of page numbering, then it 
seems not to be a valid option.

I still so not know the ins and outs of doing left and right footer page 
numbering, except what was shown when I looked at odd and even pages in 
the Format > Page option.  But, if the person wants page numbering for 
each page shown on the sheets, it does work fine.

Here is a 2 page printout [pages 10 and 11] showing my test page printed 
to CUPS-PDF.  Export to PDF within writer does not show the ability of 2 
pages per sheet.
